If the answer is 'Pacoima', that is a pretty good question. A neighborhood in the far north San Fernando Valley, far away from south central.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

At first I read that as irrelevant, and I was about to jumpt through the screen and tear up your calendar. The answer, of course, is Carson Daily.

Back in 2000, a buddy and I went to Boulder for the UT/Colorado game. We were trying to finish a joint season on Madden, so we ended up staying up til close to 3:00am and our flight was at 7:00am. I decided I was just going to try to stay up the entire time and was watching some old school Nick at Nite up loud before I dozed off. I was rudely awakened a couple hours later at that fucker screaming at Archie for some reason or another, and it scared the ever living shit out of me. Boulder was awesome, even if I didn't get lucky. UT barely won.
